Cheney to begin selling EcoGreen May 7

Saturday, May 7, Cheney compost customers can load up their “black gold” between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the city's wastewater treatment plant, 119 Anderson Road.

EcoGreen is a nutrient-rich material created using the solid residues from the treatment of wastewater, mixed and composted with yard wastes (leaves, grass clippings) and wood products. EcoGreen is a stable organic material that when added to a lawn, garden or flower bed enhances the soil by re-introducing nutrients and texture. 

EcoGreen is sold for $12 per cubic yard, plus sales tax, for a total of $13.04 per yard.  Customers with trucks or trailers may buy EcoGreen in amounts from half yard and up.

In addition to this one-time Saturday sale, EcoGreen is regularly available on the first and last Friday of each month during the gardening season, between noon and 3 p.m. For questions about EcoGreen, contact the Public Works Department at 498-9293.
